I will never forget when Lena Horne was on Live at 5 back when she was doing "The Lady and Her Music" (Also back when Live at 5 used to do live, very loosey-goosey interviews, sometimes lasting 7 or 8 minutes), when I was a teenager. At the end of the interview, Lena Horne said, "All I know is I gotta hang out some more with my girl Sue Simmons later!". At that point, both of their orientations became crystal clear.

Who cares if she is gay? This has been known for years in the GLBT community. Big Deal!
